Description

Asakusa Sumo Club Annex was established on February 20, 2025 as a high-class branch of the very popular Asakusa Sumo Club. All seats are sofas, and the restaurant offers food and beverages in an atmosphere reminiscent of a high-class Japanese ryotei restaurant. The meal will include an original chanko-nabe (chicken hot pot) supervised by sumo wrestlers, and sukiyaki and tempura made with Japanese A5 rank wagyu beef. (Vegetarian meals are also available.) The beverages will include all-you-can-drink Japanese whiskey, draft beer etc..., and soft drinks. First, you will see a Japanese dance performance by geisha on the stage, and if you wish, you can have your picture taken with the geisha. A real sumo ring will be set up in the center of the restaurant for guests to enjoy a Sumo Show by former sumo wrestlers in a setting unique to the Annex restaurant. At the Asakusa Sumo Club Annex, we will take you on a deep frive through history and how sumo has evolved throughout the millennia. Watch demonstrations of the morning exercises (asa geiko), somo of the techniques (kimarite) and the do's and don't 's of sumo wrestling before a best of 3 competition (tachiai) of real sumo between our wrestlers, who are retired from competition. Experience Sumo firsthand by challenging our wrestlers to a sumo match in the ring. If there are too many applicants, challengers will be decided by lottery. Intimate view of the Sumo ring (Dohyo) from all seats. To really feel connected to the action please upgrade to our front row First Class seating. Take home a gift bag of souvenirs as well as a framed photo of you and your group with the wrestlers and geisha. ATTENTION- This is a show by retired wrestlers for entertainment purposes. if you prefer a look into how a modern sumo beya is run you can find that elsewhere in Tokyo.
